Different Sliding Glass Door Styles

Bypass Door
A bypass door is a type of sliding door with rails on the top and bottom. These kinds of sliding doors have fixed panels that are hung adjacently to each other, with tracks placed both above and below the frame of the door. Generally effortlessly easy to use, bypass doors are commonly used for closet doors or even as a way to separate two living spaces for privacy. Additionally, if the rail is made out of a waterproof material, bypass doors are perfect for balconies.

Barn Doors
JS WINDOW specialises in outdoor high performance system but there is a common type of door that we would like to mention for your knowledge. Barn doors feature an upper track and a bottom groove for you to fit the door into. Stylishly rustic, barn doors are aesthetically pleasing and functional since you can effortlessly slide them one side to the other along the track. Since modern barn doors are generally silent, and have little to no waterproof and sound insulation functions. Not great for outdoor usage but ideal for indoor spaces.

Lift Slide Door
Allowing seamless opening and closing operation, lift slide doors offer unparalleled maneuverability. And since the track is flush you get an unencumbered view with many different door styles, no matter your taste. Moreover, since lift slide doors have optimum sealing, they are the most energy saving doors available on the market. You won’t find heat or cool air escaping when you have a lift sliding door installed in your living space.
Tips for Choosing Sliding Glass Doors
No matter which sliding door you decide to choose, keep in mind that they have to be fixed between the ground and ceiling. Therefore, before designing your living space, we recommend that you seek out a professional construction company for an on-site assessment and a floor plan draft to ensure that the material and load-bearing capacity of the ground and ceiling meet the specifications, so that your ideal glass sliding door can be installed safely for optimal durability and longevity.
